The Workers' General Party (Portuguese: Partido Geral dos Trabalhadores, PGT) was a political party in Brazil, established in 1993. It was chaired by trade union leader Francisco Canindé Pegado, who abandoned the presidency of the General Confederation of Workers to create the party.[4]
On April 1, 2003, it was incorporated into the Liberal Party along with the Social Labor Party,[2] in order to surpass an electoral threshold that would be introduced in 2007.[5]
